How to create natural sun protection within your body and choose the right sunscreen for extra protection
The sun has many benefits, which is why one should not overuse sunscreen. One of the benefits, which most people have heard about, is that when the sun's rays hit the skin, the important substance vitamin D is produced in the body. If you want to increase the amount of vitamin D in your body, you should spend at least 15 minutes per day outdoors in the sun during spring, summer, and fall without sun protection. If you use sunscreen with SPF 8 or higher, vitamin D is not produced in the skin. On the other hand, too much sunlight can be harmful to the skin. This is about using common sense.

Supporting Children with ADHD: Practical Tips and Tools to Make Life Easier for the Whole Family
We have received several questions from parents of children with ADHD who wonder how they can make daily life easier for their children and for themselves. In this article, we list things that can make a difference for the whole family. ADHD is related to heredity, environment, and biology (body chemistry). The exact cause is not known, but ADHD has a genetic connection in certain individuals. If parents or grandparents have ADHD, it is more likely that children will develop symptoms. However, research is not clear whether it is actually a genetic predisposition or similarities in lifestyle and diet that causes ADHD to develop.There are also those who believe it is linked to/triggered by trauma. Gabor Maté explores this topic more deeply in his book Scattered Minds. People with ADHD have difficulty filtering impressions and processing information. Children with ADHD are often very sensitive, their emotions can be worn on the outside, they get bored easily, forget things, lose things, and have difficulty listening, which can be a lot for parents to handle. How can we support these children?
